Stitching together birth stories

Update: 2025-09-07

Description

Carole Rankin knew she wasn't alone in having a traumatic birth story. So she undertook a quilting project to bring other women's experiences together with her own, and make it into something memorable.

This story from producer Caroline Hillier was the gold award winner for audio documentary at the 2025 Atlantic Journalism Awards. It first aired on AV in 2024.
